BEWARE OF SPAM! POSTAL CUSTOMERS

Fix it Bill

BEWARE OF SPAM!
BOGUS E-MAILS SENT TO POSTAL CUSTOMERS
Some postal customers are receiving bogus e-mails about a package delivery or online postage
charges. The e-mails contain a link or attachment that, when opened, installs a malicious virus
that can steal personal information from your PC.
The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about
an
attempted or intercepted package delivery or online postage charges. You are instructed to
click on a link
, open the attachment, or print the label.
But Postal Inspectors warn:
Don't do it !
Like most viruses sent by e-mail, clicking on the link or opening the attachment will activate a
virus that can steal information—
such as your user name, password, and financial account
information.
What to do? Simply delete the message without taking any further action. The Postal Inspection
Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program.
If you have questions about a delivery or wish to report spam, please call
1-800-ASK-USPS
or
email
spam@uspis.gov
